Back in the day we'd cruise Van Nuys - before the big crack down. Then we'd go up to Mulholland and over the hill into Westwood and try our darnedest to get into trouble...

You should check out Modesto for cruisin'...that's where George Lucas grew up and hung out. That's where the idea for American Graffiti came from - though they filmed that in Petaluma, which also has some great cruising. :good

Ah yes, American Cruise nights were a thing of beauty. I am fortunate enough to have been able to partake in that activity before all the crack downs as GM said.
Van Nuys would be a cool venue to check out.
There is another very large show with allows cruising the grid, Route 66 Rendezvous in San Bernardino. Did that one years ago and it was huge.

I was there in the hey days of the early to mid 70's. Cruising my 1969 Corvette, T-Top, 427 ci, 450 hp of trouble. :good

The last time I cruised Van Nuys, I was issued a traffic citation for "obstructing the roadway". It seems as though my large arse was sticking out in the lanes of traffic as I was leaning into a vehicle containg a bevy of young beauties. My sales pitch didn't work with them or the cops. :rolleyes

That was the last time I ever went down there. The cops told me they were working hard to shut it down, and not to come back.

I didn't. :laugh

We have always had cruzing here, never stoped, we have had one of the biggest car show cruz spot on the north coast right here in my town, 200 to 500 cars on sat. night, and it all started with a little burger stand that had parking for 25 cars maybe, I remember parking in the grass back in 85' and you leave your headlights on and they would come out to your car and from there it took off, we use to cruz from my town down to the town just south of us and back, Now racing was a whole nother story, we use to go up to cleveland down on west 3rd st and race but we stoped going up there after the shooting started to take place and car jackings. BUt my dad is 70 years old and can tell alot of old story from back in the 50's and 60's
